Redskins tight end Chris Cooley joined me this week for an extremely fun chat. We talked about his choice to win American Idol, his love of pottery, the NFL lockout and his frustration with not having high-speed Internet.

Trust me, you'll want to listen to this show, which you can do below or download it on iTunes. (Warning: The podcast contains strong language.)

Kyle Tapply, of Dallas, says, "In honor of the Mavs taking a 2-0 lead on the Lakers, can you play the DFW Digs Dirk song?

I've been writing Hot Clicks for four years now, and this was the first time anyone ever signed off an e-mail with "love you," so I feel like I have to post this. Plus, the Bob Marley-esque song is catchy.
